"The death of institutions hasn’t killed solidarity among journalists — I’m a member, for example, of the Freelance Solidarity Project at the National Writers Union, which provides resources for independent writers and has contracts for minimum standards with several publications." 🫡

Digital Media’s Union Wave Helped Shape a Generation’s Thinking About Unions When Maya Schenwar and her colleagues at Truthout began to talk about...

I contributed a piece to TPM's look back at 25 years of digital media. Unsurprisingly, I wrote about unionization and how it shaped the press: talkingpointsmemo.com/tpm-25/digit...

if the amount of people who send me AI-slop PR emails about my book had actually bought and read my book, I wouldn't need their PR.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

Mr. Mamdani, would you please be my mayor? I wrote about the Zohran phenomenon and economic populism for some folks across the pond:

Mamdani Beats Cuomo and the Press Hacks (Again) The city’s media oligopoly looked to a rejected, corrupt sleazeball to save the city from a fresh-faced progressive who vowed to make life more affordable.

After Zohran Mamdani beat disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in this year’s New York City Democratic mayoral primary, Cuomo, his billionaire backers and corporate media all took a beating.

But they picked themselves up, got back in the ring, and lost again.

I'm told by Cuomo and others that this is "not" possible.

Cover of "Radical Abundance" shows a detailed illustration of a strawberry plant with fruits and leaves. Green and red text conveys a hopeful, eco-friendly tone.

Recently, @sarahljaffe.bsky.social sat down with @kaiheron.bsky.social, @kmilb.bsky.social and @bertrussell.bsky.social, authors of “Radical Abundance: How to Win a Green Democratic Future” to discuss the difference between radical and bullshit abundance.

Or massive labor networks in Minneapolis/St Paul working around local elections there, or unions backing Zohran in NYC. Lots of action is local. Finally, not a lot of press covering unions so follow those that do at @labornotes.bsky.social and @inthesetimes.com

Briefly: labor is not a monolith, look at what @ctulocal1.bsky.social is doing in Chicago or @federalworkers.bsky.social

That should be a career ender. Let’s hope that we’re at the point in time when we’re organized and aware enough that it is.

The inflatables have made it to Broadview.

One person riding a bike while naked probably requires some kind of emergency response. But a whole group = a regular-ish PNW event.

Stay until the end to learn it’s possible to buy an inflatable axolotl costume…
